watercolor signed Maurice Fillonneau (1930-2000) entitled Rain

Very beautiful watercolor by maurice fillonneau (1930-2000) entitled la pluie. After having worked a lot for others, maurice fillonneau decided to exhibit his paintings. First exhibition in 1976 at the orangerie in nantes, after his meeting with the painter joël dabin. His rise was very rapid and, very quickly, he exhibited in japan, where he received the holbein prize in 1980, in belgium, germany, and the united states. His "wet" watercolors made his reputation. Indeed, he dipped his paper in water, and painted both sides of the wet paper, and did not make any drawings before a lot of movement in his paintings: a sketched gesture, a still wet background swept. Frame dimensions 33 X 26 subject 19 X 13.
